Replacing the engine and fuel vehicle components such as fuel tanks and exhaust systems is a 100kWh battery pack and a Tesla electric motor with a maximum power of 450 horsepower. After all, this is a Land Rover Defender from the off-road family, and it is reasonable to still use four-wheel drive. Upgraded air suspension and BF Goodrich all-terrain tires are also available. It is reported to reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5 seconds and a maximum range of 220 mph (354 km).
